reminder that endogenic systems are systems 🫀

[aimee-if-tulpa]

Hi, this blog is a paragenic (system origin from paracosms, immersive daydreaming and/or madd), endogenic, tulpa, imaginary friend blog. If you are those things, accepting of those things, and interested in what an imaginary friend has to say, please follow. The host is based in a median system of plurality. I am looking for mutuals.

You don’t have to refer to each other as “we” if you don’t want to by the way! It’s important to use whatever language feels right for you and your system, and it’s okay if every headmate prefers to use different terms.

{I'm curious, what's your systems "weirdest" introject?} {(I mean weird in a very affectionate way)} {We have a 1 Second Slowmode introject so I was curious if anyone else has bizarre things that they introjected haha}

Imaginagenic flag! It didn't have one so we made one!

"Imaginagenic is a system origin where a system forms from either imagination play or roleplaying."

Color meanings:

Purple - represents imagination itself, imagination play or daydreaming related formation methods, and the autonomy of imaginagenic members

Green - represents the act of creation, formation methods consisting of writing, roleplay, and other forms of art, and any created lore or memories an imaginagenic headmate may have

Pink - represents original characters and stories, and the feeling of having ones' source experience be internal or not widely known.

Yellow - represents intentional imaginagenic systems and the act of intentionally imagining & making art to create a headmate

Blue - represents unintentional imaginagenic systems and the act of discovery that ones' imagination has created other system member(s)

shoutout to mixed origin/multigenic/traumaendo/etc plurals whom use the label(s) not because different members have different origins, but because individual members come from a combination of multiple origins. Members that're both neurogenic & traumagenic deserve respect! Metagenic thoughtforms are important! Adaptive paragenic members deserve recognition! Not every plural member has just one origin affecting their appearance here - labels are descriptors, not cages!

[joypunk-plural]

Shout out to neurogenic systems!

(Pt: Shout out to neurogenic systems!)

Shout out to systems formed from trauma caused by neurodivergency

Shout out to systems formed to deal with symptoms of neurodivergency

Shout out to systems directly formed from neurodivergency, even if their neurodivergency isn't usually associated with plurality

Shout out to headmates with roles related to neurodivergency, like symptom holders

Shout out to systems that form tons of headmates related to their hyperfixation/spins

Shout out to systems who formed headmates in an attempt to understand neurotypical society!l

Shout out to systems formed from identity issues from BPD

Shout out to systems whose plurality is intertwined with delusions or hallucinations

Shoutout to systems formed from the paracosms in MADD/immersive daydreaming

Shout out to systems caused by neurodivergencies not mentioned here, sorry I didn't include ya :/

You're all valid, no matter what caused your system, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

When I began to explain to my new therapist about having different parts that I have named and that it’s not like how DiD has them but I’m not like a single person, that I’m in the middle, she begins to explain how everyone has many parts and she pulls out the No Bad Parts book to show me. Do you think Median systems are the same as IFS? Or similar/can relate to them? I did not use the term median as therapists for the most part would probably not have heard of it. I do not think it is an official term after all. It was created online internet to describe an experience many have. My median parts each have names, personalities, likes, viewpoints, and different outlook on life yet they’re each still me. They are mes who felt like different names fit them better.

Stanford Pines from Gravity Falls is a paragenic system

[auraindigos-paracosms]

If you are a paragenic (plurality that has its origin in paracosms and immersive daydreaming and madd) blog who accept median systems and those who are mixed origin/non traumagenic, please follow me. I do not have a disorder but I am partly traumagenic as well as neurogenic, and paragenic and maybe other things I am unaware of because there are so many origin terms lol. I am partly endogenic, I have an imaginary friend, yes, even as an adult. If you are endogenic or accepting and paragenic, I would love to see more of you on my dash. Come say hello.

[justletmemakeapage]

This system uses terms from daydreaming lore userbox! Let me know if I did something wrong and feel free to request if you need :D

These are with our terms, but get them too.

[multiplicity-positivity]

How are paragenic systems formed? Is it voluntary or not? Because I have compulsive daydreaming and I don't know if I have a system or not I'm lost :(

hey, so we’re not paragenic ourselves (though we have an alter who formed out of a paracosm), so we’re not be the most knowledgeable about this system origin and how it manifests. but it’s to our understanding that paragenic systems may or may not form voluntarily - it depends on the person, their situation, and their system.

we understand “paragenic” to mean systems whose origins relate to daydreaming, whether through maladaptive daydreaming, casual daydreaming, or something else. it’s possible to daydream and even live with maladaptive daydreaming without having a system. many folks may find that they daydream a lot and interact with the same figures in their daydreams, but that doesn’t necessarily make them plural.

it is our opinion that, if someone feels plural and wants to use that framework, then they’re plural enough and can call themselves a system. so ultimately it will be up to you to determine whether or not the figures you meet and interact with in your daydreams are headmates.

we’ll include the pluralpedia link for paragenic origins so you can learn more:

if any system sees this who is paragenic and/or has paragenic headmates, feel free to share a bit about your experiences to help the-capy-system find some answers.

wishing you all the best with figuring this out :)

Daydreams, Ghosts, and Plurality - Experiences of a Dreamway System

I think, in writing this, our goal is just to give a glimpse into our personal experience with identifying as dreamway, and how deep of an impact being neuronarrative has on our plurality. We saw a post about someone wanting more plurals to just write about experiences - so, here's some of ours, to share about ourselves, to ramble, and in hopes that someone might connect.

Our first ever signs of plurality as a child were through daydreams.

For as long as we can possibly remember, we've been traveling. Even as a very young child we lived a constant life of daydreams, of worlds we could disappear into in our head - and, more importantly, the people we met in them. Some of them were fictional; the fairies of the Pixie Hollow movies and the cures from the existing Pretty Cure seasons, both things we grew up with and deeply loved. These were perhaps our first experiences of walk-ins, as they would appear in and leave our daydream worlds as they pleased. Others were self-made, and would continue to appear with us until we had our first syscovery - a grey kitsune and an angel, who would protect and care for us on our journeys.

Our daydreams have always had a spiritual component, one that we would never really understand until we became an adult and learned about astral travel. We continually had spiritual beings appear to us in our daydreams, such as yokai like the kitsune and fae-like beings - and, most concerningly to others, dead relatives of ours and friends. We once told a schoolmate in elementary school that we had seen her grandma who passed away a few years prior. Her deeply superstitious mother proceeded to tell our poor aunt that she believed we were cursed.

We used to journal to each other as a child, writing to each other by name and creating journal entries in the form of letters. People, including us, dismissed it as an overactive imagination. However, it felt so fulfilling to us to write about our day and know that somehow, the people in our daydreams would see it, and sometimes even write back.

As we got into our teenage years, we began to be aware of these daydream characters as more than just daydreams - they were alive, they existed separately and had their own thoughts and feelings. We confessed to an online friend at the time that we had "people in my head" that lived in "my own world", which would eventually lead to our first syscovery. This initial group is who we sometimes call "the original 12" - a series of 12 system members who have been around since we were very young, appearing as daydreams until we realized who we really were.

We were very confused about our origins at first. We hung out in tulpamancy groups for a brief time, wondering if this was maybe how we had come about. However, we soon realized it just didn't resonate, so we moved on to some general endogenic groups and forums. We really appreciate the people we met during this time, who were kind to us in a period where we really had no idea what was happening with us.

Having a headspace always came very naturally to us. We never really understood how to describe creating and interacting with one, because to us we had always been daydreaming about ours. It was an incredibly in depth other world with its own rules, its own people, its own life. Even before we knew the extent of it, daydreaming had a huge impact on how we interacted with each other and how we navigated our own plurality.

After some very stressful life events, the coming awareness of our amnesia, and a while with a good therapist, we were diagnosed with HC-DID.

This led to a long period of self hatred and fear, where we were less sure than before about our life and each other. Thankfully, with the help of therapy and finally having a good support system, we were able to recover from this part of our journey. However, even after this we still had a strong sense that there was more to our origins.

This was when we discovered the term dreamway and the origin paragenic, which hadn't yet been coined when we had our first syscovery. Suddenly, everything made sense! There were people like us! Our daydreams, paracosms, and paras were an essential part of our system, and this was a known experience.

We're extremely grateful for that discovery. Our paracosms are an inherent part of our headspace - many of our introjects used to be para versions of fictional characters. We are able to travel freely between them, continually encountering new people, new worlds, new lives. There is a strange spiritual component to them; we've often heard people say that "paras usually know they're in a daydream," and this isn't true for us. They exist autonomously of our daydreams about them, almost as if they really are in another world, unless they get pulled into the main system and gain awareness of it. Similarly, we can use our headspace for spiritual means, using daydreams and astral travel to encounter entities of all kinds.

We feel greatly at peace with ourselves having discovered daydreams and connected spirituality as an essential part of our system and its origins. There is a lot of joy to us in being mixed origin - in knowing that even there our initial splits were due to programming, there is so much more to us, so much that has in fact helped us cope and stick together since that initial split.

At the end of the day, we want people to know that being mixed origin can be amazing, and can be an essential tool to a system's growth. We hope maybe other neuronarrator plurals or plurals with MaDD may see this and relate, and also we just want to spread more posts about joyful in depth system experiences. Thank you for reading!

It’s the way that every breakdown we have, we come to have a deeper understanding of our system and the relationship we all have. How we’re able to be there for each other in different ways. How we know exactly how to comfort one another. The deep, impossible understanding that we have of each other’s immediate needs because we’re that intertwined in our experiences

Guess what (not out yet) endo system had to hold back tears when their mom was talking about how endos aren't real! 🤫🧏🎉🥰

Oh oh! And guess what? She kept bringing up "Alastor" as a sign they are faking being a system! And guess who was co-fronting with me when this was happening? 🥳🥳
